How to book the Wedding Venue you fell in love with!

There are times in life when our hearts are set on something and we can’t quite let go. But with a little bit of effort we may actually get it. That can happen with Wedding Venues. Many times brides may fall in love with one specific place. However, due to budget restrictions or other unforeseen reasons end up not being able to book it. Like any other metropolis; Austin Wedding Venues range from private ranches, resorts, hotels, Inns, banquet halls, restaurants, clubs, gardens, museums, mansions and yachts on Lake Austin. Now let’s cover options that we have in getting the Wedding Venue of our dreams:

Rates are seasonal.

Some Wedding Venues have off and high season rates. Off season rates at times are a good percentage of the full price. The wedding industry considers early spring, late fall and mid winter periods to be off season. Rates may also vary based on the day of the week. Saturday is usually I the most popular and most expensive day. However if you are open to holding your wedding on a weekday or a Sunday, you may get a discount.

Time of the day might affect rates.

You can hold your wedding earlier in the day and offer a luncheon instead of dinner. Either way your wedding can be as glamorous as a Saturday evening wedding. This arrangement could drop the price.

Divide the cost.

These days there are no formal rules on who pays for the wedding. If you have friends and family buying you gifts perhaps they venue might have a gift certificate or you could opt for debit cards which you can use it lower the overall cost of the venue and could put a significant dent in your venue expenses if you have good participation.

Be flexible with your wedding planning

If it means that you can change your wedding date to book a venue, will take that date into consideration. Just keep in mind that popular Wedding Venues can be booked 6 to 12 months out. Arm yourself with questions that you can discuss with the site coordinator. It helps if you have a vision of how you want your wedding day to unfold.  Keep in mind that expensive venues don’t make a wedding. You are the center of your wedding day! So if you find an interesting and romantic place that you consider it to be perfect, share it with your family and friends. As always your wedding Videographer.
